Suicide due to result glitch

Recently, an SSC examinee, Sarbajit Ghosh Ridoy, committed suicide upon learning that he had failed in the exams. Upon re-examination, it was found that he actually got GPA 4.67.
I fail to comprehend how such a terrible error could occur. What kind of checking and re-checking apparatus are in place to ensure that the results published are accurate? I would request the education minister to order an enquiry into this tragic case, so that such mistakes do not occur in future. The people responsible should be given due punishment, and the bereaved family should be adequately compensated.
